I wanted to like this place. I really did. I thought they had a cool Web site. The whole idea seemed cool. It was less than a mile from my place. I was wrong.
How did I find this place? I was looking for a take out menu on Fuel Pizza's site and thought it would be cool to go there. I should have known better - it's affiliated with Fuel Pizza, which I think is gross as well.
I went there with a friend of mine on a Saturday night. 8PM. I was expecting it to be packed. It wasn't. So, we were at least promptly seated and the hostess brought over chips and salsa. The salsa was the highlight of the night. It had chipotles in it. Really good. Chips - sucked. Stale. No taste.
The waitress finally shows up 10 minutes later to take our drink order. I order a margarita - when in Rome, right? I asked for a regular margarita. I got a look of disgust from her and the response "just a regular margarita?". That's right - attitude up-sold me nothing. 10 minutes later, we get our drinks. Seriously people, if there were 10 other people in the restaurant, I would have been shocked. I got the water I asked for 5 minutes later, then she took our order. The margarita tasted like Gatorade powered mix with tequila. Gross.
I ordered the chicken mole tacos. I should have known better. Who orders mole at a place that you already knew was crappy? This guy does. Guess what? They were crappy. Rice was fine, but I don't really like Spanish rice. The black beans were OK. I got a side of guacamole. Wow - that had a lot of salt.
I picked up the check for my buddy and I. Thankfully, the damage to a crappy meal was only $30. However, I am not going back.
